    @WeldingStud Před 7 lety +1

    Hello Allen
    Hey what's your position on a barber shop owner that is not a barber, just managing the shop. I have an chance to buy an existing shop with 6 chairs the existing owner will sign a contract for 1 year as will the other 2 barbers. There is are mixed clients, latin and black. Is this something I should look into or is it a pass. Thanks for your input.

    • @thebarbershopinc
      @thebarbershopinc  Před 6 lety +1

      I think its fine, to be completely honest I think its a GREAT position to be in I personally feel that was one of my hinderances. I was so busy working in the shop I could not really work on it to really create explosive growth. I would do it if I were in your position. I would advise to listen to your barbers and see if what they want is doable for your business model.

    • @thebarbershopinc
      @thebarbershopinc  Před 6 lety

      I used multiple brands but the one that customers liked the most was from a company named Men-U. I also used other brands but this one sold best especially the create and shape. Its still sells very well for me to this day.

    Do the bathrooms have to be a certain size ? I don’t see nothing about it on the regulations on my state website

    • @thebarbershopinc
      @thebarbershopinc  Před 4 lety

      That’s a good question. That would fall under your Twp regulations. Normally if you occupy a space that was previously a barbershop you can keep the bathroom the way it is but if your moving into a new space they may require a handicap accessible bathroom. When I had my shop, because I was in a new space it had to be big enough for someone in a wheel chair.

    • @AllenBritt
      @AllenBritt Před 6 lety

      Latrell Sean I had that problem. What I did was, go to the hair schools and recruit talent. I asked the instructors what good barbers they had and if I could talk to them about a job. I would have them come to the shop and perform a demo cut for me and I chose the best ones out of the bunch. From there I would teach them what they didn’t know. Be careful with this approach though. I lost some clientele during the training process of the barbers. But that was my approach.

      It depends on where you are, in my state you not supposed to rent out chairs. So in my state, Yes they can. It is a way to track expenses and taxes for them as barbers.

  • @CJ-ly5sd
    @CJ-ly5sd Před 6 lety

    Hey! This video was amazing & very informative. I was wondering your opinion on just opening a shop but not cutting in it. I’ve wanted a shop for a long time but for my own different reasons. Do you think I could successfully run one with little to no barber experience but rather with business experience/mindset?

    • @AllenBritt
      @AllenBritt Před 5 lety

      Lilbiger YT if I had to do it over I would approach it the way you are suggesting. I absolutely believe you could do it. You would need a good barber to manage it for sure though.
